Jos on "major press confrence" niin melkeen vois veikata että 71 vuotias Poile on jäämässä eläkkeelle.Rinteeseen liittyen uutisia vai muuhun?
Oli Rinne.Jos on "major press confrence" niin melkeen vois veikata että 71 vuotias Poile on jäämässä eläkkeelle.
En viitsi uutta ketjua availla, joten laitetaan vielä tänne => Juuse Saros
No ihan Nashvillen kauden 21-22 ketjua ajattelin…Minkä tyyppistä ketjua ajattelit siis availla jos Saroksen oma ei käy ja laitoit tänne?
Juuse Saros – ensimmäinen kahdeksankertainen Vezina Trophyn voittaja?
En viitsi uutta ketjua availla, joten laitetaan vielä tänne => Juuse Saros, Smashville kykynsä näyttänyt ykkösmaalivahti odottaa edelleen sopimustaan, nyt ilmoittautunut välimies-käsittelyyn… Toki harvemmin välimiestä loppujen lopuksi tarvitaan ja sopimukseen päästään, mutta kuinka kaukana lienevät osapuolet diilistä?
Tällaista itsekin veikkaan, toki se isompi ihmetys on, ettei homma ollut selvä jo ennen tätä hetkeä? Askarov tulossa täydellä teholla kuitenkin vasta 2-3v. päästä…Kai sieltä jonkun vitosen lapun voi veikata. Eli "perii" Rinteen sopparin ja Rittich pelailee suurinpiirtein samaan hintaan mitä Saros aiemmin kakkosena.

Eiköhän siinä pari päivää ennen käsittelyä saada nimet paperiin kun eteen tulee deadline. Enpä ainakaan itse näistä jaksa huolestua.
Millainen on Predatorsin sentterikalusto? Mikä on Pärssisen mahdollisuus murtautua kokoonpanoon?
Jää P-Amerikkaan. Sitähän sä kysyit.Millainen on Predatorsin sentterikalusto? Mikä on Pärssisen mahdollisuus murtautua kokoonpanoon?
23. On Connor Ingram’s right arm is a tattoo of a cross and a ring. On Oct. 24, as he made his NHL debut in Minnesota, his father, Brent, and mother, Joni, tried to contain their emotions 600 kilometres away in Imperial, SK. Brent wears a necklace with the cross depicted on Ingram’s tattoo. Joni wears the ring. The tattoo reads: “Never Alone.” Ten months ago, Connor Ingram felt very differently. Last January, while the Predators were having a rough weekend on-ice in Dallas, losing 7-0 and 3-2 to the Stars, Ingram, the team’s taxi-squad goalie behind Pekka Rinne and Juuse Saros, was having a terrible time off of it. He missed the team bus to go to the rink, showing up 10 minutes later than everyone else. Upon arrival, Ingram went right to goalie coach Ben Vanderklok. “(Ben) asked, ‘What’s going on?’ I told him, ‘I can’t do this.’ I didn’t want to play hockey. After listening to me, he said, ‘Let’s get you on a plane, there’s a program for this, something in place to help.’”
24. Ingram was consumed by Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, but didn’t realize it at the time. “This is the kind of OCD you do not hear about,” he said. “You hear about repeatedly washing hands or being incredibly organized. My apartment is a disaster, I’m not one of those people. Mine was different. I had a compulsion with sexually-transmitted diseases. I’ve never had one, but I’d spend countless hours researching wikipedia. I had 10 blood tests within a year…I was in a fully-committed relationship so it wasn’t possible for me to have one, but when you’re in a relationship, it is very hard to explain.”
On Jan. 24, Ingram voluntarily entered the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program. He spent 40 days there. “I’d never heard of anyone out there in the world going through what I was. I explained everything to a therapist. She said, ‘You have OCD, that’s what this is.’" It was like a thunderbolt hit him. “It was nice to put on a label, to know what it is. Now I know there’s a reason for what I’m going through. The world works in mysterious ways -- there was another person in Malibu with me…to have that person sit across from me and tell me their story, it was amazing. I was in tears, because I’m not the only one. People need to talk about it. What I went through is something a lot of people go through. As a man, we don’t talk mental health a lot. I want people to know they shouldn’t be scared to talk about it, because there’s someone out there who understands. There’s someone out there who is going through the same thing.”
25. Ingram credits Predators assistant GM and director of hockey operations Brian Poile for staying with him in his Dallas hotel room that January day where the goalie asked for help. As travel details were being finalized, Poile made sure to keep Ingram company. “I remember that morning Connor being vulnerable and coming to us genuinely asking for help, and our entire team -- players and staff being there to embrace him,” Poile said. What did you say? “The details of that time with Connor is his story to share. At that moment, I simply wanted to give Connor compassion, let him know we sincerely cared about him as a person, and we were there to help him and his family any way we could. In professional sports, we sometimes forget these are young men, some of them not fully developed physically or mentally. In many cases, they leave their homes and families in their prime development years to chase their NHL dreams. These young men devote the majority of their days and years to hockey, and in some cases at a significant compromise to the other areas of their life, to become exceptional at the game they love. The Predators are truly a family and we care deeply about our players. We are actively making efforts to commit people and resources, to help our players with their mental health, both for their on-ice performance and more importantly to help them better navigate life off the ice.”
At the start of the program, Ingram was not allowed to communicate with anyone. FaceTime with his parents began about a week in, and “you could see a change in Connor,” Brent Ingram said. “We are so proud of him. You’ve got to give that kid credit, at 23, to realize that things weren’t quite right. He’s definitely more positive about things. He’s happier, regained his passion, enjoying everything more than he did before.” Ingram re-joined the AHL’s Chicago Wolves last April, playing five games before injury. The numbers weren’t great (3.48 goals against, .899 save percentage), but the attitude was much improved.
He didn’t have a great reputation for staying in shape, and there were rumours about alcohol consumption. When Ingram played in Sweden at the start of the 2020-21 season, he missed a flight home because he’d been out partying with teammates the night before. “(Alcohol) definitely became a coping mechanism, but I’m not a person who would wake up and make a screwdriver to get myself straight, nothing like that,” he said. “But one thing about OCD is you do things to completion, so instead of one or two drinks, I’d have 10. Drinking is one of the things pointing me in the direction of things are not right, I’m losing control.” Ingram went back to Imperial for his brother’s wedding, then returned to Nashville in July. He’d usually stay in Saskatchewan until the annual Roughriders/Winnipeg Blue Bombers CFL Labour Day game. Not this time. “I re-assessed everything. Who I was, how I approach things,” he said.
26. He also credited teammate Mark Borowiecki, very open about his own mental health challenges, for helping him navigate things. In the air on a flight from Winnipeg to Minnesota on Oct. 23, Ingram was notified he’d be making his NHL debut the next night against the 4-0 Wild. “I didn't really have time to get nervous to be honest,” he laughed. “That was the best thing about it.” The difficulties of border-crossing during COVID made it impossible for Brent and Joni to attend, unfortunately. But you can imagine the pride they felt as their son stopped 33 shots in a 5-2 win. “(Joni) was famous (at WHL) Kamloops,” Brent Ingram laughed. “You could never find her, she’d be wandering around, needed to be by herself. The joke was she made as many saves as Connor did during the game, so was dangerous to sit next to. But if Connor was strong enough after all he’s been through to enjoy the moment and relish the game, she could do it too. We’re so proud of him. He’s got a saying, ‘It’s not where you’re from, it’s where you’re going.’”
27. Ingram is currently at AHL Milwaukee, and I’m looking forward to seeing him back in the NHL. “I’m never quick to judge people. You don’t know what they are going through. They could be having a bad day. I guarantee somewhere there’s someone going through the same things you are. No one should go through it alone, there’s always someone willing to listen and relate to you. I know it’s hard to ask for help, but that stigma is going away. People have to know there is no shame in asking for a hand.”
Poile eläkkeelle, Trotz ilmeisesti tilalle.
